Evaluate the effect of various treatments on soil properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The field experiment entitled “Effect of Different Manures and Fertilizers on Productivity of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) & Soil Properties” was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Indore, during the Rabi season of 2022-23 in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The experiment included 8 treatments T1: 100% RDF (120:60:40 kg/ha of N, P₂O₅, and K₂O, respectively) T2: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by FYM from basal dose of N T3: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by Vermicompost from basal dose of N T4: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by Poultry manure from basal dose of N T5: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by Neem cake from basal dose of N T6: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by Karanj cake from basal dose of N T7: RDF with 10% equivalent N substituted by Castor cake from basal dose of N T8 (Control): 90% of recommended Nitrogen with recommended P and K The significantly highest available NPK (kg/ha) after harvesting was recorded with T1 (204.17, 13.06, and 370.05 kg/ha), which was at par with T2 (203.54, 12.21, and 368.33 kg/ha) and T4 (202.13, 11.49, and 365.52 kg/ha). The significantly lowest available NPK (kg/ha) was recorded in T8 (Control) (161.73, 8.54, and 350.11 kg/ha).
